Margaret E. Malloy

Date of Death: May 19, 2020

Margaret E. Malloy, age 97 of Crown Point, Indiana passed away peacefully on Tuesday, May 19, 2020.

Margaret was born March 28, 1923 in Gorseinon, Wales, UK to William J. and Edith P. (Miles) Evans. The seventh of eleven children, Margaret emigrated to Gary, Indiana at age eight and found her new country the perfect place to finish her education, grow up in a huge happy family, and marry the boy next door, Air Force Lieutenant James D. Malloy, who had just returned from Margaret’s old stomping grounds in the UK. As WWII ended, the two married in Boise, Idaho and moved to Crown Point to begin a marriage of 50 years.

Left with the happiest memories of a devoted sister and mother, are Margaret’s three surviving siblings: Mrs. Hannah Corbin (Wausau, WI), Ms. Benice Evans (Laguna Woods, CA), and Mrs. Phillippa Springer (Plainfield, IL); and her seven children Sheila R. Malloy (Crown Point, IN), James D. (Mona) Malloy Jr. (Dallas, TX), Thomas J. Malloy (Lowell, IN), Patrick D. Malloy (Boise, ID), Jane E. Malloy (Fort Wayne, IN), John B. (Tammy) Malloy (Lake Village, IN), and Mary E. (Sam) Rhee (Crown Point, IN) and numerous grandchildren, great-grands, and many, many nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Crown Point Community Library Children’s Department would be most appreciated.

A private funeral service for her family will be held at Pruzin & Little Funeral Service (811 E. Franciscan Dr., Crown Point) on Friday, May 22, 2020 with Rev. Jim Wozniak officiating. She will be laid to rest at Maplewood Memorial Cemetery.

Dear, Dear Malloy Family, I went back to CP after being gone for 40 years and had to stop by and see your mom. She had the sharpest mind and would tell me stories of the old days in the 60's and early 70's when we lived next door at 321 Pettibone. She loved my mom Shirley Faverty and told me how close they were even though they were 10 years apart. Your mother remembered every detail of us kids all playing outside and having fun. I am so happy I got to see her and spend time with her. I love your mom and so did the rest of my family and everyone else in the neighborhood. God bless her. I hope she meets up with my mom and dad in Heaven. They will be thrilled to see her and show her the ropes. Love to all of you. Roxie Faverty
